Stimulation of the sympathetic nerve endings, after paralysis of the vagus, accelerates the transmission of the excitatory process in the dog's auricle. Following the functional exclusion of the vagus ergotamine slows the rate of the sinus rhythm, depresses A-V conduction, and delays the transmission of the excitatory process in the auricle. The relation of the sympathetic and parasympathetic n...

The original empirical conjecture of auric-ular acupuncture (AA) consists of a claim that the entire human body is represented in a certain way on the auricle (eg, in the form of an inverted fetus, see fi gure 1A), and that the pathology of human organs leads to specifi c changes at these respective areas on the auricle.
